Hitler Youth Uniforms: Trinagular Patch--Script


Figure 1.--This patch identifies a HJ boy as being from West Hessen Nassau. This was an area in southern Germany.

The place names in the triangle patches were written in the Gothic script. This makes them a little difficult to read. In particular the S's look like F's. A reader writes, "My father was a World War flight surgeon and he retrieved a patch from Hitler's Eagle Nest. I thought it might be of interest to you. Do you know which region this patch would have been from? Your HBU site is very informative." [Chenik] Thank A good example is a patch which identifies a boy from "West Hessen-Nassau" which is a part of Southern Germany. Written in the Gothic scrift with charcters looking like F's it is diificult to maske out.
